Bible Commentary

Micah 7:15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

According to (as in) the days. The Lord answers the prophet's prayer, taking up his last word, and promising even more than he asks, engaging to equal the wonders which marked the exodus from Egypt. That great deliverance was a type and foreshadowing of Messianic salvation (comp.

Isaiah 43:15, etc.; Isaiah 51:10; 1 Corinthians 10:1, etc.). Unto him; unto the people of Israel (Micah 7:14). Marvellous things; Septuagint, οψεσθε θαυμαστά, "Ye shall see marvellous things." Supernatural occurrences are meant, as Exodus 3:20; Exodus 15:11; Psalms 77:14.

We do not read of any special miracles at the return from captivity, so the people were led to look onward to the advent of Messiah for these wonders.
